<p> <strong> [[Hazazon-Tamar]] </strong> (? ‘pruning of the palm,’ &nbsp; [[Genesis]] 14:7 ). It is identified with <strong> En-gedi </strong> (&nbsp; 2 Chronicles 20:2 ). The name is preserved in <em> Wâdy Hasaseh </em> , N. of <em> ’Ain Jidy </em> . &nbsp; Genesis 14:7 , however, seems to place it to the S. W. of the [[Dead]] Sea. </p> <p> W. Ewing. </p>

<p> ''''' haz´a ''''' - ''''' zan ''''' - ''''' tā´mar ''''' ( חצצן תּמר , <i> ''''' ḥacăcōn tāmār ''''' </i> ; the King James Version Hazezon [[Tamar]] ): "Hazazon of the palm trees," mentioned (&nbsp; Genesis 14:7 ) as a place of the Amorites, conquered, together with En-mishpat and the country of the Amalekites, by Chedorlaomer; in &nbsp;2 Chronicles 20:2 it is identified with [[En-Gedi]] (which see); and if so, it must have been its older name. If this identification be accepted, then Hazazon may survive in the name <i> ''''' Wādy Husāsah ''''' </i> , Northwest of <i> ''''' ‛Ain Jidy ''''' </i> . Another suggestion, which certainly meets the needs of the narrative better, is that Hazazon-tamar is the <i> ''''' Thamara ''''' </i> of Eusebius, <i> Onomasticon </i> (85 3; 210 86), the Θαμαρω , <i> ''''' Thamarō ''''' </i> , of Ptol. xvi.3. The ruin <i> ''''' Kurnub ''''' </i> , 20 miles West-Southwest of the South end of the Dead Sea - on the road from [[Hebron]] to [[Elath]] - is supposed to mark this site. </p>
